The mountains at night have a unique beauty of spookiness. The overlapping tree shadows are swaying with the wind coming from nowhere. The moon is so high and pure, illuminating everything in the world, making the bright place more holy and the dark place more gloomy. .

The Xinguo Mansion rushed to the foot of Qingya Mountain overnight, rented a small courtyard for Duan Lingyao to rest, and hurriedly sent everyone to inquire about the whereabouts of Dr. Xu.

Song Sijin was still taking care of Duan Lingyao under the watchful eyes of others. He hardly had a rest all night, and he couldn't sleep at all. As long as he closed his eyes, he couldn't help thinking about the worst outcome repeatedly.

In order to divert his attention, Song Sijin drew a small chessboard on paper, and played Lianxingqi with himself.

When it was almost dawn, someone rushed back and said that they had found the old doctor named Xu Wanqing in the temple on the mountain, but the other party excused that they were not good at healing trauma and poison, and insisted that they found the wrong person.

Upon hearing this answer, the old lady didn't panic, she first called Song Sijin over and asked him if he was sure it was really this person.

Song Sijin asked, "Does this doctor admit that he is Xu Wanqing?"

"Dr. Xu didn't admit it at first, but when I asked the monks in the temple, they said his name was Xu Wanqing. Only then did Dr. Xu say that he remembered the name wrong. But he immediately said that he was old and confused, and he was worried. I can't bear the heavy responsibility of treating the son's illness, I'm afraid that he, a quack doctor, will accidentally make the son's condition worse."

It was him, it must be.Song Sijin was slightly excited, but he had to suppress his excitement when he thought that Dr. Xu would not come down to treat Duan Lingyao.

"Dr. Xu refused to treat the rich and powerful because of the past. He refused to admit it at first, but it must be him."

The old lady thought for a while, and then asked: "Can you make it clear that you want to ask him to treat the eldest son of Xin Guogong's mansion?"

The attendant replied: "The little one has absolutely nothing to hide, and he said it very clearly."

The old lady let out a long sigh: "Then do you think this doctor Xu has heard of the reputation of the son before?"

The attendant suddenly realized that he had done something wrong, and hurriedly kowtowed and confessed.

"Forget it, get up."

As for Duan Lingyao's disrespect, everyone in the palace knew something about it.The old lady thought about it and came up with a new idea. She sent three groups of people, one group went up the mountain to persuade Dr. Xu, one group went to the foot of the mountain to inquire about Dr. Xu's deeds and preferences, and the other group immediately went to town. Go to the county seat to buy a large amount of grain, cloth and medicinal materials.

The old lady wanted to tell Dr. Xu that even if Duan Lingyao had a bad reputation, saving him was not a bad thing. As long as Dr. Xu was willing to heal the young man, the government would hand over the supplies to Dr. Xu and donate them to the poor people nearby.

Seeing that the old lady was so organized, Song Sijin, who was worried that the government would forcibly take Dr. Xu down the mountain and force him to treat Duan Lingyao, also breathed a sigh of relief.Although he doesn't know Xu Wanshan's specific hobbies and weaknesses, he knows that he is the most soft-hearted person, kind-hearted and cruel-hearted. If he wants to force him to treat so-and-so, he may do something behind his back.

Thinking of this, Song Sijin bid farewell and went back to his room to continue to take care of Duan Lingyao. He couldn't give more help, so it's better not to disturb others in the front.

In this way, a group of people tossed back and forth several times, and after everything was ready, another bad news came.

Xu Wanqing still refused to come down to the mountain to treat people. He pretended to be sick for a while and said that he had a headache because he didn't sleep well, and then said that others had nothing to do with him.

This succeeded in angering the old lady who hadn't had much rest all night. She rubbed her sore temples tiredly, while Madam Xu waved a fan to help her repel mosquitoes and enjoy the cool.

"How is the son?"

"Not very good." Madam Xu was worried, "Why don't we ask Dr. Xu to come down the mountain first?"

The hand of the old lady holding the armrest of the chair became tighter and tighter: "No, if this person is really the imperial doctor of Chen Guo, if he is displeased, the prince will be even more hopeless."

"How can this be good?"

"The doctor is benevolent. I don't believe that he can be so hard-hearted if he sees the patient with his own eyes."

When she learned that Dr. Xu was doing a free clinic on the side of the road, the old lady guessed that this person must be very soft-hearted, so even if he refused again and again, the old lady still refused to give up.

It was already too late, and she didn't dare to drag on any longer, so the old lady asked someone to carry Duan Lingyao up the mountain. This section of the mountain road was entirely dependent on manpower, and it had to be carried flat and steady, so the speed up the mountain would not be much faster.

Song Sijin walked up the mountain beside the bearer, with one heart always on his back, and one pair of eyes always looking at the unconscious man.Duan Lingyao's condition was particularly bad today, he didn't make any extra movements, and his lips and teeth were tightly closed, making it difficult to feed even liquid food.

If he couldn't get any more medical treatment, not to mention the poisoning, just not being able to eat would be enough to take his life away.

The temperature on the mountain was much cooler, but Song Sijin was so tired that he was sweating after walking for a distance.He thought that now that Duan Lingyao was ignorant and no longer struggling with the nightmare, maybe he didn't need to be by his side tightly.

But I don't know why, when I saw him lying down so quietly and weakly, with a pale face that lost his previous expression, I was so worried that Song Sijin couldn't let him out of his sight, as if only one If your mind wanders, the person lying on the shelf will leave you.

After finally arriving at Qingya Temple, there was no time to rest, so a group of people immediately knocked on the gate of the temple.

In the past, Qingya Temple was a very lively place, with pilgrims coming to offer incense basically every day, especially during temple fairs, where people come and go full of fireworks.But today it was very quiet, because Duke Xinguo's mansion specially closed the road at the foot of the mountain so that no one would come and disturb the young man.

The abbot of Qingya Temple was a kind person. Hearing that Duan Lingyao was seriously ill, he didn't refuse them to come in. Instead, he specially set aside a spacious and quiet room for them.

For some people, Duan Lingyao deserves to die, but for others, Duan Lingyao's life is also his life.

However, although the abbot didn't mind Duan Lingyao's reputation, he couldn't force Xu Qingshan to treat Duan Lingyao, after all, Dr. Xu was only a guest living in the temple temporarily.

After all, the old lady was old, and her body couldn't hold on after so much exhaustion. The weather was so hot that she almost fainted again.The eldest young lady helped her to rest in a secluded room, and took the initiative to take over the important task of persuading Dr. Xu.

Song Sijin knew that he was clumsy, so he didn't dare to make up his mind, so he quietly watched the young lady's actions.

I saw that the first young lady gave the first order: order all the attendants to kneel and cry in the small courtyard where Dr. Xu lived, crying and shouting loudly at the same time.

He didn't mention how serious Duan Lingyao's illness was, nor did he mention his few good qualities, but only mentioned the old lady's love for her grandson who worked hard up the mountain in the hot weather, and even made herself so tired that she couldn't stand up straight.

Song Sijin could hear the cries from a long distance away, and couldn't help feeling that the eldest and young lady really had two brushes.If it was me, seeing a crowd of people kneeling in front of me and crying about the difficulty of an old man, I would definitely soften my heart immediately.

But Xu Wanqing is not an ordinary person. He lay in the house and pretended to be asleep. He couldn't practice his skills in ten or eight years. No matter how he cried outside, he would not move like a mountain.

Seeing that he couldn't be moved, the eldest young lady asked the servant to bring in a young monk who helped Dr. Xu with his daily work, and the two stood outside the door of Dr. Xu's room.

The eldest young lady asked: "Little master, may I ask if a person has made a mistake, should he be given a chance to correct it?"

The little monk clasped his hands together, and replied obediently: "Knowing your mistakes can make you better."

The eldest young lady asked again: "If there is a human life in front of your eyes, you may just watch him die?"

The little monk immediately shook his head: "Of course not."

So the young lady couldn't hide her sadness: "Little master, my third brother's life is dying now. I just want to ask Dr. Xu in the room to help him diagnose and treat him. But Dr. Xu is not willing, and I don't want to force it. Can you please?" Help us guide the maze?"

This was a bit embarrassing for the little monk. He thought about it and scratched his head: "How about I go and ask for you?"

Before the little monk could knock on the door and enter the room, Dr. Xu came out with a sad face: "Oh! Don't embarrass the child."

Seeing that he was finally willing to show up, the eldest and young lady immediately showed joy: "Doctor Xu, are you willing to help the third brother who is a concubine to heal?"

Xu Wanqing smiled, somewhat hypocritically: "Yes, yes, the old man was moved by your sincerity, no matter what, I must help the son to heal well, otherwise, wouldn't I be sorry for your efforts?"

After working hard for a long time in the scorching summer, he finally got the doctor's approval, and the attendants who were kneeling in the courtyard and crying suddenly got up happily.They surrounded Xu Wanqing and walked towards Duan Lingyao's resting place. The young lady led the way and thanked Dr. Xu repeatedly.

But along the way, Dr. Xu didn't respond, he just smiled lightly and stroked his beard occasionally.

When they came, Song Sijin was helping Duan Lingyao wipe his body. After wiping, he was about to change his dressing. Duan Lingyao didn't sweat after he passed out, but he thought he loved being clean so much, so he needed to be wiped to feel comfortable.

Seeing that Dr. Xu was actually persuaded to come to treat Duan Lingyao, Song Sijin was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly moved away so that he could treat Duan Lingyao.

When he saw Duan Lingyao clearly, Dr. Xu suddenly let out an exclamation. Immediately after suppressing the strange moment, he pretended to be calm and sat by the bed, and began to take Duan Lingyao's pulse.

Looking at the scene in front of him, it was strange that Song Sijin couldn't care less about what would happen to Duan Lingyao when he woke up.It seemed that at some point his opinion of him changed a little bit, and this little bit was the thin lever that pried everything, and brought him a strange and long-lost peace.

But I never expected that what Dr. Xu brought to everyone was not hope, but a more desperate death sentence.

Not long after he checked the pulse, he let go of Duan Lingyao's wrist, and sighed: "No, the young master of your family has been poisoned quite deeply, and this kind of poison is rare. I have never seen it in my practice for so many years. If you accidentally prescribe the wrong medicine, I am afraid that you will die immediately with the current physique of your family, so you should ask someone else to be wise."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expression faded.That's right, so many imperial doctors can't diagnose what kind of poison is in Duan Lingyao's body, so how can they guarantee that Xu Wanqing can spot it?Although he is a genius doctor, he is not a real god after all.

The eldest young lady asked unwillingly: "Is there really nothing you can do?"

Dr. Xu stroked his beard and shook his head: "Oh, it's too late. If I had brought it earlier, I would have been able to test the detoxification slowly, but now I really can't do anything about it. It will delay your son's condition, so I should send him down the mountain as soon as possible. Ask another doctor for treatment."

The eldest young lady couldn't bear to hold the maid's hand tightly, she didn't know how to tell the old lady the news.

Seeing that they were all silent, Dr. Xu got up and wanted to go back, sighing as he walked, his face full of helplessness.

But Song Sijin stood in front of him, and mustered up the courage to say to Xin Yi and the young lady: "Can everyone go out first, I have something to say to Dr. Xu alone."

Fei Cui, the young lady's maid, curled her lips in displeasure: "Is there anything I can't ask everyone to listen to? Mr. Song hasn't entered the house yet, so I really think I'm the new master of the family. If it wasn't for your young master, I wouldn't have so……"

"Shut up! There is no place for you to interrupt here." The eldest young lady yelled loudly, and then said, "What about Mr. Song's future, we have to wait for the third brother to decide for himself. Before that, I will not say a word carry."

Fei Cui stood at the back, lowered her head and dared not speak any more.

The eldest young lady supported the hand of the maid and slowly stood up, blessed Dr. Xu, and nodded to Song Sijin: "Everyone has already disturbed the business of the temple, why don't you go and help the temple to clean up?" Hui, by the way, help the son accumulate blessings."

Xin Yi also forced a smile: "What the young lady said is that with the blessing of the Buddha, the young master can heal faster."

When everyone left the room, Dr. Xu raised his beard, looked at Song Sijin and asked, "I'm not good at medicine, can this young man help me improve my medical skills immediately?"

Song Sijin shook his head. He looked at Xu Wanqing seriously and sincerely asked a question: "Doctor Xu, are you really unable to cure Duan Lingyao, or are you unwilling to treat him?"

A guilty conscience flashed across Xu Wanqing's face for a moment, but he quickly returned to a righteous look: "The doctor is benevolent, this young man should not slander people for no reason."

Song Sijin pursed his lips and smiled helplessly: "This junior is not from the government, you can tell me the truth, I promise I won't tell them."

Seeing Song Sijin's silly promise, Xu Wanqing couldn't help but raise a smile: "You are not from the government, so who are you? Besides, are you from the government? Is it important? Anyway, you all want me to treat him."

That's right, Xu Wanqing will definitely not trust herself easily.

Song Sijin thought for a while, and simply told him the truth: "Actually, I... I am the fiancé who was forcibly brought back to Beijing by the prince, but I don't want to marry him. If you have heard of the prince Xin Guo, you should know, I really hate him."

Dr. Xu raised his eyebrows: "So what?"

"Please tell me the truth. I really won't tell people in the government. Dr. Xu, I know you don't want to cause trouble, and I don't want to bring you more trouble, but if you have a way, you just don't want to Come forward, you can tell me, and I will find a way to save him!"

This made Xu Wanqing very strange, he almost couldn't help asking why, why did he hate Duan Lingyao and save him?But asking would mean more trouble, so he held back abruptly.

"Young master, you overestimate this old man. To be honest, how dare this old man hide the truth from the government? There is really nothing I can do!"

This kind of answer was still obtained from another identity and angle. For a while, Song Sijin felt that the world in front of him was extremely gloomy. He sat down on the side of the bed, unable to stand up from his tired body, and unable to turn his brain to distinguish the truth of Xu Wanqing's words. .

In fact, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, he doesn't want to, and Song Sijin can't force him.

Xu Wanqing rubbed the tip of his nose when he saw that a single sentence would blow a good young man like this, "Why don't I help you change the medicine for the son?" And he was really curious why this Mr. Song was so contradictory.

After being reminded, Song Sijin remembered what he was going to do. Instead of rejecting Dr. Xu's sudden kindness, he opened the gauze wrapped around Duan Lingyao's body and prepared to change his dressing.

Due to the good disinfection work, Duan Lingyao's wound was fortunately not infected and suppurated, but the healing was very slow, and the sutures were still oozing blood, and it is unknown when they will heal.

Disinfect with alcohol first, and then apply ointment to promote wound healing. Dr. Xu shook his head while helping to wrap the gauze: "The old man suddenly remembered that there is also an expert in Yaojing who is quite accomplished in medical skills, why don't you ask him for help?" ?”

Song Sijin said in a low voice, "I've called the imperial doctor all over, and there's nothing I can do."

"The person I'm talking about is not the imperial doctor, but Doctor Song who spread alcohol and allicin!" Doctor Xu said, "Think about it, although he said he learned the prescription from elsewhere, but before that , do you know anyone who has heard of related things? According to the old man, this person must be a medical genius, but he has a high-minded and pure heart, and he just made such an excuse because he just wants to save the world and doesn't want to be disturbed. But it may also be He is a disciple of a master outside the world, but the old man can't see where his medical skills originated, so it can be seen that he himself must be extraordinary."

Song Sijin: "..."

Dr. Xu blew his beard and stared: "Why, do you think what the old man said is wrong?"

This Doctor Song's behavior style is similar to that of Doctor Xu himself, so after hearing about this, he admired him quite a lot.Knowing that this is a young student, I am even more delighted to see him. It is also because Dr. Song came to Yaojing that Dr. Xu traveled all the way here.

But he has only been here for a few days, and before he even entered the city, he got into trouble with the powerful government... Oh, I have to get rid of them quickly, so that I can go to the city to communicate with Dr. Song!

In short, Dr. Xu was very dissatisfied with Song Sijin's reaction: "Speaking of which, Dr. Song still has the same surname as you. His name is Song Sijin. You were a family 500 years ago, so you should feel honored."

Song Sijin really couldn't be more honorable, he said weakly: "Actually Song Sijin is not a doctor, if he had a way, he would naturally save the young man, but he has no way."

Dr. Xu chuckled: "Then I can't help it." Not bad, it seems that Dr. Song really shares his philosophy, he would rather do nothing to save the people than bend his waist for five buckets of rice.

For a while Xu Qingshan liked Song Sijin even more.

Song Sijin said awkwardly, "I mean it."

Dr. Xu: "I'm also serious, young man, it sounds like you have already visited Dr. Song. I don't know where he is now, is he still in Yaojing?"

Song Sijin was even more embarrassed: "He is right here."

Dr. Xu was immediately pleasantly surprised: "Really, I wonder if the old man can meet him? If Dr. Song and the old man discuss and improve together, maybe they can find a way to heal your son." Of course he himself knows that this is just a case Excuse.

But Song Sijin didn't know, Song Sijin only felt ashamed and embarrassed, he was about to disappoint: "He really can't do it."

Dr. Xu said displeased: "You are not a doctor, how can you decide whether you can do it or not? By the way... your surname is Song, so are you relatives? Young man, what's your name?"

Song Sijin whispered, "Song Sijin."

Dr. Xu: "Oh, Song Sijin, this name is really... exactly the same as that Dr. Song!"

Song Sijin rubbed the floor with the soles of his shoes in embarrassment: "This junior is really not a doctor, nor has he studied medicine much."

Dr. Xu's old eyes stared more and more vigorously, and he accidentally pulled off a beard without feeling any pain: "Impossible!"

Song Sijin: "..."

How can I prove that I am myself?

Song Sijin didn't know, and didn't have the energy to entangle in this kind of problem. He helped Duan Lingyao pull up the thin quilt, touched his fingertips, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Doctor Xu, for disappointing you. But I do It's Song Sijin, the rumors are true, I didn't develop alcohol and allicin alone, I just helped spread the word."

Dr. Xu stared at the back of his head for a long time, his shocked expression gradually subsided, his eyes were long, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

Suddenly Xu Wanqing asked: "If you don't give the prescription, you will make a lot of money by selling it yourself, why do you choose to spread it to the public?"

Song Sijin was stunned for a moment: "I didn't think too much about it, it's just this kind of thing, should I do it this way?"

Xu Wanqing chuckled twice, clasped his tongue at Song Sijin in amazement with his hands behind his back, and after getting along for a while, he already got a good grasp of Song Sijin's temper. This young man is so simple that he can see through it at a glance!

"I have another question." Xu Wanqing asked leisurely, "Since you hate him, why did you save him?"

It's not easy for Song Sijin to reveal the secrets of the government. He can only say: "Because I don't want to owe him, he hurt me like this because he wanted to protect me. If he dies, I will never feel at ease for the rest of my life."

Song Sijin rubbed his face and cheered himself up: "I really hate him, and many people hate him. Actually, I don't understand, but... just want to save him."

Speaking of this, Song Sijin became more and more ashamed. Looking back on Duan Lingyao's wonderful deeds, any one of them would be enough to make people despise him for a while. It is not a pity for such a person to die, and he can only pay off his evil debts with a thousand cuts. .

But Song Sijin didn't think so, he couldn't firmly support him to die.

Song Sijin murmured: "Maybe it's because I can't help but feel that he's not bad. Is it because I'm too confused."

Obviously Duan Lingyao is terrible, but he is so confused that he can't bear it because of a little bit of goodness. The intuition and reason are constantly pulling each other, which makes Song Sijin extremely entangled.

"Oh, young man, he is indeed very young." Xu Wanqing shook his head, "In that case, the old man will break the precept once to save his life."

Song Sijin, who was in a daze and depression, couldn't react at first when he heard this sentence, but soon he stood up happily, and was so happy that he couldn't talk incoherently: "You, you have a solution? Can you really, really save me? ?”

Dr. Xu smiled slightly: "It's a coincidence that the poison in Duan Shizi's body is rare, but the old man suddenly remembered that he encountered it once many years ago, and it happened in the Chen country. This kind of Chen country's secret medicine, It is normal that the imperial physicians of Dayue Kingdom do not know each other."

"Great!" Song Sijin was trembling with excitement, "What do you want us to prepare?"

Dr. Xu patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I can treat him, but the government has to promise me three things."

"Please speak!"

Dr. Xu said bluntly: "First, all the idlers in the government are invited to go down the mountain, and it is enough to leave you alone here to help. They are making noise here, and I can't go to the doctor when I am nervous." The main reason is that I am afraid If one person cannot be rescued, it will be easier for the other party to escape if they retaliate.

"Secondly, regardless of whether the son lives or dies in the end, the government must not blame the old man."

"The last one, little doctor Song, you have to think of another good thing to help the people, so as to repay the sins that this Duan Shizi may commit in the future."

For some doctors, patients are treated equally regardless of good or evil, but Xu Wanqing is different, he only acts according to his own likes and dislikes.
